Comments Abstract: "The complete nucleotide sequences of trpA of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli were determined. The nucleotide sequences are 24.8% divergent, compared with amino acid sequence divergence of 14.9%...The pattern of synonymous nucleotide changes is consistent with the interpretation that such changes result from random mutational events."
